Architecture is the construction of form and it is also function. What makes architecture so diverse and ever changing is due to the development and uses of new materials enabling new forms of expression. The end result protects, projects, inspires, contains, empowers, and controls. And yet it is art, soul, design, illusion, ornamentation, method, utility, love, aesthetic, engineering, and experimentation. At its core it is shelter; the fundamental and primordial necessity alongside food.
